Aleppo has been hit by several consecutive days of government aerial attacks in the last week. Video posted online Wednesday showed children said to have been injured in one such attack on the neighborhood of Hanano.

Video posted online Wednesday showed a young boy said to have been injured in a government aerial attack on the Aleppo neighborhood of Hanano. Cradled in someone's arms, the boy was wrapped in a checkered scarf with a bandage running down the length of one leg. He appeared to be in shock and did not speak, emitting only moans and high-pitched squeals. His face was caked with dust and blood. Nearby, men held other young children who were also said to have been injured in the attack.

#Syria's dropping mass-explosive barrel bombs on major city like Aleppo is almost always inherently indiscriminate. http://t.co/g9WPhydVbm
